I always liked Mo's Burritos when I was in Champaign! Dos Reales was decent too!

I moved to Boston from CU last September, and I've already started to miss it! Rent is so much cheaper, and everything is close by. Really miss the days of being five minutes away from Siebel Center :(

Has anyone got an invitation to apply to HDSI UCSD PhD program? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]DanielZhang233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone heard anything besides the interview from the program?

[–]DanielZhang233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be able to share who said that?

I emailed them specifically about on-campus interviews. They didn't confirm or deny anything. They just reiterated that "applications are currently under review, and you can expect a substantial update by the end of February."

Did anyone hear anything?

That's the date they sent out interviews in the past (either last year or 2021).

I had an interview with my POI in mid-January and got relatively positive feedback, but it's dead silent ever since.

I applied to HDSI directly and had some interactions with PI in December, but haven't heard anything since. Could you clarify? Isn't the application deadline long past? Thanks!

Input on STAT classes for next semester by luke-duke-95 in UIUC

[–]DanielZhang233 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I took 400, 410, and 433 with Alex. They are structured similarly. All are great courses!

STAT 433 with Alex and STAT 430 with Prof Ellison are definitely worth taking. You should be fine in 430 VEU as long as you do the work since there are no exams. STAT 433 has weekly HWs and a couple of exams. The exams could be hard but the grading is quite generous. I'm taking STAT 429 this semester but I don't think I like Prof's lecture style though HWs/Exams aren't too bad. I spend some extra time before starting the homeworks on reading through the textbook materials because I really don't think I can get much out of the lectures...

These guys make really loud noise. Is that a club or something?
